  1. Had mine today and it was awful. After asking me some basic questions, the therapist launched into her recent certification in traditional Chinese medicine posture practices for weightloss. She went on and on about this for probably twenty-five minutes, and about how it would be much less invasive to my "vessel." She ended the session by saying we were out of time, that she hadn't gotten everything she needed to complete my eval, so I would have to come back for another session. I thought I was going to have a stroke! I paid $130 for the visit (she doesn't accept insurance) and took half a day off work to make the appointment. It totally sucks that she used half of MY time to talk about her Eastern medicine classes...not to mention starting the appointment 15 minutes late. This is my last hoop to jump through, too. Got 6 months of MSWLP and nutrition consult and such. Very depressing b/c I thought I'd be done today! O suppose I will live but how aggravating!
  2. Conpared to what mine will be, I'm jealous! I'm still pre-op but my surgeon requires 2 weeks clear liquids pre-surgery then for a minimum of 10 days post op, then ONE MONTH of full liquids followed by 4-6 weeks of soft/mushies. I really was shocked when I found this out and have had thoughts of looking at other surgeons.
  3. This has happened to me so many times. I have small legs and no butt and suppose I really do look prego since I carry all my weight in the front. Some of today's fashion trends don't help matters either. Try not to let it get you down- you are doing something about it so be proud!
